Description

ABSTRACT:
An automatic focusing apparatus includes a telephotographic system and a line sensor comprising multiple light receiving devices which receive light of an object image formed by the telephotographic system, multiple monitor sensors positioned adjacent to said line sensor, which monitor a quantity of light received by the line sensor, and a focus detecting device which controls a light receiving time of the light receiving devices in accordance with the monitor sensors, and detects a focusing state based on outputs of respective light receiving devices. When the focus detecting device fails to detect an effective focusing state, the light receiving time of the line sensor is controlled only by the monitor sensor positioned at a center.
